I tried this restaurant for convenience purposes. I will not do that again. The cleanliness issues concerned me to the point that I reconsidered eating my lunch. I visited the ladies room and found that they use the restroom as a storage area for their styrofoam containers and plastic utensils, how ...

the people in the restraunt are so ruid and dissrespectfull andand usually rush and hang up before u can get your order out
I really recommand this place to anyone who wants to eat real Mexican food. I love every thing about it. It is like home food away from home food. Everyone is so lovely. I truly recommand the crispy beef tacos. They are 3 huge tacos that are jamed packed with lettuce, tomatos, cheese, beef or chicke...

My boyfriend and I decided to try China Star tonight for dinner. I have heard many people swear up and down that this place has great food. The hot & sour soup was very salty with little other flavor except the green onion I added. The lo mein was disgusting at best. I have never spit food into a na...

My wife had eaten at China Star for lunch and said that it was very good. She said that it is very crowded at lunch time. On that premise, we decided to go there for dinner. The supposedly fresh shrimp and sushi smelled fairly pungent of age. The battered and fried chicken is any kind of sauce l...

We dropped into this restaurant because of its convenient location. We couldnt decide on what we wanted but decided chinese food sounded okay when we approached the place. I wish we had kept on driving. The food was cold and had that "recycled" look to it. We'd just sat down after our initial vi...

First of all this is Chinese trick to add the word Chinese to their name. All it is, is a TYPICCAL Chinese restauran. A lot of fatty food, not only faty but cold too. Shame on them to call it Chinese Afghan. What Afghan has to do with it I have no idea.

We won't be going back to the Water Tank. We were very disappointed in the service as well as the food.
If you like real Bar B Que don't waste your time with this place. They may have been doing it for a long time but they don't do it right. Worst I've ever tried. If the locals and others think this is good eating, they must not know what Bar B Que is really all about. Meat is plain and the side are e...
waaaaaay too salty!! breakfast tacos are a total joke.
I'll get straight to the point... skip it. Just drive the extra quarter mile to Rudy's for BBQ. Everyone raves about J's fajita meat... skip it... drive the extra half mile to Flores. Breakfast tacos are a joke. The "ham" in the ham & egg tacos... it's literally a slice of Oscar Meyer ham laid on th...

Well, while the Oasis has its points (mainly being the great sunsets and view), I was not overly impressed. My husband and I took our parents (who are from Texas and Panama) to dinner here before we were married with hopes of impressing them with this restaurant, but our experience was SO opposite ...
bad Mexican Food...really bad mexican food. Don't do it. These people don't have a clue and it shows. If you want Taco-bell like menu offerings except worse quality, it's the place for you. Even Taco Cabana has better Margaritas. What's up with that?
Not what we expected upon arrival. Some reviews say it's "quaint" or "romantic", but I disagree. The only other customer there when we arrived for our 7:00 p.m. reservation was the lizard that scurried across the floor of the old and erie cottage. The family that runs the restaurant attempts to make...
The restaurant is dirty. Needs a good cleaning and updating. The menu is too extensive. They should zero in on some dishes they can do good and stick to them. Try just simple home cooking instead the faux international menu. Service very slow. But I cannot get over how dirty the restaurant app...

WHILE ONE OR TWO ITEMS ON THE BUFFET ARE GOOD (SWEET & SOUR CHCICKEN, THE EGGROLLS, AND HONEY BANANAS),THE REST HAS SO LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CHINESE TASTE (NO GINGER, GARLIC, BAMBOO SHOOTS, OR WATER CHESTNETS), THAT IT'S NOT WORTH GOING TO. ALSO, THE WOMAN AT THE CASH REGISTER WAS SO RUDE, YOU COULD...
Was at your restaurant this Sunday with 5 family members. One was my 96 year old mother in law and a 7 year old mentally disabled little girl who is vary hard to keep still. We waited 45 min for a table and was told we could not be seated till the "whole: party arrived. Yet there was a table availab...
12/2/2008 4:00 PM-- I visited the Burger King drive through at Anderson Mill and 183 this afternoon during off-peak hours. There was NO ONE in line and the automated recording asked to take my order. I waited until I got the human voice and clearly gave my order. She clearly wasn't listening to me...
I don't know what happen to this place. They use to be pretty good. The last couple of times I went there the food has gotten worse and worse(Shrimp Diablo, Broiled Crawfish Tails and Fried Crawfish Tails). And the service with it(charged of items that I did not order). Sorry to see a good restaura...
I ordered raw oysters and boiled shrimp at Captain's. The waitress was very apathetic and slow. The food looked dirty, with sea sludge floating in the water and filmy on top of the oysters. The waitress neglected us as we waited, and a bartender came to our table, as I imagine he noticed our lack...
